SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10 1912 President of Haiti Perished In Flames PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI, Aug. 8. —General Cincinnatus Lecone, President of the republic of Haiti, perished today in a fire which destroyed the national palace. It was caused by an explosion of the powder magazine attached to the palace. The explosion occurred at 3:15 this morning and the shock shattered the palace. Fire followed and the palace, a wooden structure, was consumed within half an hour. During the fire there were a great many explosions of munitions of war in the cellars below the palace. All the nearby houses were greatly damaged by the explosion, but as the palace itself was isolated the firemen succeeded in their efforts to localize the fire. The members of the family of the President, all of whom were in the palace at the time, were saved but President Leconte himself perished in the flames. Consternation reigns among the population, but the military authorities are maintaining order in town. Both the chamber and the senate have been called together in national assembly and probably will nominate a successor to President Leconte today. General Tancrede Auguste, senator, formerly minister of public works, and Senator Luxenberg Cauvin, formerly minister of the interior, are candidates. The cause of the explosion of powder magazine has not been ascertained. Cinoinnatus Leconte was elected unanimously by congress president of Haiti on August 14th, last year. He first gained prominence in Haitien affairs in 1908, when as minister of the interior in the cabinet of President Nord Alexis, he was credited with ordering the summary shooting of ten prominent revolutionaries at Port-au-Prince. Shortly after the regime of Nord Alexis was brought to an end Leconte went into exile in Jamaica. While there he intrigued against the new President Simon, and in January, 1911, started a revolution against him, which was, however, short-lived. The insurgents were defeated and Leconte took refuge in the German consulate at Cape Haitien, later being sent from the island under German protection. Leconte returned to Haiti in May last year and succeeded in overthrowing President Simon. He was a mulatto, between 40 and 50 years old, and belonged to the legal profession. Later investigations showed that the casualty list in dead and wounded amounted to four hundred people — Morning News. Sacred Concert.

On tomorrow afternoon at three- thirty o'clock there will be a mass meeting at St. Philip Monumental A. M. E. church, Hull street, west, in the interest of the proposed Central Park Normal and Industrial Institute It is the plan of the African Methodist church to erect the proposed school on the ground donated by the Central Park Improvement Company, about four miles from the city on the White Bluff road. Land immediately adjoining that which has been presented to the church for the purpose of a school building has been laid off in lots and sold to Negroes, and it is the hope of the African Methodist church in this section of the State to have the proposed school form a nucleus for a great educational institution in southwest Georgia. The mass meeting on tomorrow afternoon is to be held for the purpose of arousing interest in the proposed school and it is expected that a large crowd will be out. The program which will be presented on this occasion is a very interesting one and will no doubt prove of much benefit to the proposed school. It is hoped by those who are leading this school idea that the movement will have gained sufficient headway by September to begin work on the erection of the first school building.

The Lodges will meet in joint communication and every Mason is expected to be present. The Grand Master will be at Ludowici on the 18th, where he will visit the Lodges of that section. The Grand Master will visit the Lodges at Brunswick and also take in the Eastern Star Grand Chapter on Aug. 20th. The brethren will give him a royal welcome wherever he goes. The annual proclamation of the Grand Master contains much important information. Every brother should hear its contents Each Lodge is asked for a donation of one dollar or more if possible, in order to erect a memorial over the grave of Past Grand Master J. M. Simms. This sum is to be sent in immediately to the Grand Secretary at Savannah. The Eastern Star Grand Chapter meeting at Brunswick is expected to be largely attended and very interesting. MASONRY OFFSETS SELFISHNESS Selfishness makes no garden and plants no flowers anywhere. As Masons we shall honor our institution, and commend its virtues to the world when we exercise the grace of brotherly love. We need more of it among ourselves. Masonry will help to make us better men, just as we bestow upon others, and just as others bestow upon us, the heavenly boon of brotherly love. Masonry teaches us how mutually dependent we are upon each other, and how much we need to give and receive the helping hand and heart of genuine brotherly affection. We look into the bird's nest and we see the strong giving herself to the weak. By a law of instinct birds flock together, and become helps to one another, as they migrate to other clines. Sheep huddle together during a snowstorm for mutual warmth and protection. A selfish species can not long survive, and any creature that will not stand together with his kind in mutual protection will soon disappear. I believe it is generally understood among men that the ties of Masonry are strong. We are glad the world thinks so. We want it to be known everywhere that Freemasonry binds men together in a brotherhood that is the more sacred and enduring because of its high ideals, and its noble conceptions of life. Such a brotherhood will always be honored. Such a fraternity will continue to bear its impressive testimonial to the world as in the past. It will inspire us in many little ways to "spread the cement of brotherly love and affection," which shall continue to "unite us into one sacred band or society of friends and brothers," among whom no unholy contention should ever exist. Such a brotherhood is endowed with the breath of immortality. These loving links that bind us are not to be broken by death. This beautiful flower of brotherly love which we are cultivating in this life, and whose fragrance fills this sacred place where we meet today, shall bloom into immortal beauty by the sides of the River of Life, and be as fadeless as the glory which encircles the throne of God.—R. W. Bro. C. W. Atwood. FINED FOR SETTING UP LODGE Boston, Mass., July 31.—James C. White, grand master of the Most Worshipful Alpha Grand Lodge, A. F. & M., was found guilty of deception in setting up his grand lodge in Massachusetts by Judge Burke in the Municipal Criminal Court of Suffolk County last Wednesday and fined $50. The complaint was made by Samuel W. Washington, Past Grand Master of Prince Hall Grand Lodge F. and A. M. It stated that White had set up a grand lodge in this state without the consent of Prince Hall Grand Lodge or the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, and the name was so much like the older organization as to deceive the public, and that it was intended to deceive. White was arrested Friday; July 19, arraigned the same day, and held in $300 bail. The trial commenced Monday, July 22. The complaint was drawn by Curtis J. Wright, who examined the first NUMBER 47 Roosevelt Nominated by Bull Moose GOVERNOR JOHNSON OF CALIFORNIA IS RUNNING MATE All Negro Delegates From South Thrown out Convention — Many Female Delegates Present The first session of the first convention of the new Progressive Party which was formed by Col. Theodore Roosevelt took place in the Coliseum at Chicago last Monday and was attended by a very enthusiastic set of delegates, save the Negro delegates from the south. The attendance, in point of numbers, was also very encouraging to the leaders of the new party as there were about eleven hundred delegates. One of the most noticeable features about the crowd was the large number of women delegates present. The convention, of course, nominated for the presidency its founder, Col. Roosevelt, who in order to inject enthusiasm into the convention and see that his wishes were carried out, was on the scene of battle. As his running mate, the convention selected Governor Hiram W. Johnson of California, who was elected without opposition. Of particular interest to the Negroes of the country, especially those of the south, was the ruling of the National Committee of the new party on contesting delegates from the south in which the "lily whites" of the party and the Negro delegates who opposed them for seats in the convention figured. The cases of the contesting delegates were all decided in favor of the white delegates except that of Florida in which both the white and Negro delegates were thrown out. The contested cases which had been ruled upon by the provisional national committee were all placed before the Colonel in detail and a hot fight was precipitated by both sides. With but the single exception of Florida he settled the question of securing recognition from the new party in favor of the whites and by his decision stating that he would cling to the position he had taken, namely, that although it might cost him votes in the northern states he believed it was to the best interest of the party to proceed under white leadership in the south. There were a number of his supporters who dissented from this opinion at first, but they were all finally won over by the Colonel. Thus, not a single Negro delegate from the south was given any recognition at the convention. This decision of the Colonel is simply looked upon as a grandstand play for the southern white man's vote as the inconsistency of his stand upon the race question is shown in his decision to allow the Negro delegates from the north to be seated. The convention struck out the word "national" from its name and will hereafter be known simply as the Progressive Party. The convention met in its final session Wednesday when it was flooded with oratory from the ardent followers of the Moose. Asbury M. E. Church. Gwinnett Street West of West Baoad.

TAFT AGGEPTS THE NOMINATION TITLE CLEAR, SAYS ROOT. Guests and Committee Snapped for Moving Pictures.

Mrs. Taft, radiant and happy, stood by her husband's side. Charles, their younger son. ‘was there, too. They had come from their summer cottage at Beverly.

Washington — Although President Taft’s formal speech of acceptance of the nomination defined in detail the -tssues of the campaign as he saw them, he reserved the right to amplify his statements In a letter as the cam- paign develops. The supreme issue that confronts the voters, the President declared, ‘was that of the maintenance of the nation’s institutions and the preserva- tion of the Constitution, threatened, he .said on the one hand by the Demo- cratic party and on the other by those Republicans who had left the party to try their fortunes in a new one. Next in importance Mr. Taft placed the tariff. In the proposals of the Democrats for reduction in the pres- ent schedules, he said, lay danger of business depressions and hard times. ‘The Republican principle of revision only where scientific investigation shows it necessary marked the straight road to continued prosperity and commercial peace. In discussing the tariff the Presi- dent said that it was untrue that to its door could be traced the high cost of living, and pointed out that condi- tions of living were allke over the world.

In- terstate business enterprise, he sald, should be offered a Federal incorpora- ton law. | Aaide from these issues, the Prest- dent pointed to the record of the Re publican party and particularly dur- ing his own administration as an earnest of what it might be expected to do in the future if the people re- turned it to power in November. He attacked the Democrats at other points than the tariff, making special reference to the refusal of that party in the House of Representatives to continue the naval policy of two bat- tleships a year. a, os oe > ss ee Se i aa es FS eee, RS EY a eI) V pabe T eee” Sf BY. ore Boo Bo OP OS Soe. ve aig SM eget se? ey ye A 8 ys FAM Senatcr Etihu R ct. Mr. Taft did net mention either Colone! Roosevelt or Governor Wood- row Wilson by name, but referred to each. While he did not accuse either of embracing the doctrines of social- ism, many of the proposals they had made, the Président said, savored of it strongly. He closed with a review of his administrative achievements and appealed directly to the conservative voters of the Democratic party to join with the Republicans at the polls. ROOT’S ADDRESS. __ Washington—Senator Elihu \ Root, ‘in his address to President Taft here when, as chairman of the committee | of notification, he formally advised the President of his nomination by the Chicago Convention, sald in part: “The committee of notification,” said Senator Root, “here present has the honor to advise you formally that on the 29d day of June last you were regularly and duly nominated by the National Convention of the Republi- can party to be the Republican candi- date for the President for the term be- ginning March 4, 1913. “For the second time in the history of the Republican party a part of the delegates have refused to be bound by [the action of the Convention. Now, as on the former occasibn, the irrec- Jonetiable minority declares its inten- tion to support either your Democratic opponent or a third candidate. The reason assigned for this course 1s dis- ‘satisfaction with the decision of cer- tain contests in the making up of the temporary roll of the Convention. Those contests were decided by the tribunal upon which the law that has governed ghe Republican party for ‘more than°40 years imposed the duty of deciding such contests. _ “You have been nominated because you stand preeminently for certain hxed and essential principles which the Republican party maintains. You believe in the rule of law rather than the rule of men. You realize that the only safety for nations, as for indt- viduals, {s to establish and abide by declared principles of action. You are in sympathy with the great practical rules of right conduet that the Ameri- can people have set up for their own guidance and self-restraint in the liml- tations of the Constitution. “You know that to sweep away those wise rules of self-restraint would not be progress but decadence. You know that the great declarations of princl- ple in our Constitution cannot be made an effectual guide to conduct in any other way than by judicial judgment upon attempts to violate them; and you maintain the independence, dignity and authority of the courts of the United States. “In respect of all these thingsjour country is threatened from many sides. It is your high privilege to be the standard-bearer for the cause in which you believe: and in that cause of peace and justice and liberty the millions of your countrymen who be- ‘Meve as you do will stand with you, and the great party which was born in the struggle for constitutional tree- dom will support you.” Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace, om trial at Atlanta, Ga., on the charge of shooting her husband, told the court that Grace shot himself accidentally while she was scuffling with him to prevent him shooting her. - Attorney Daniel Donahue and Miss Aileen Heppner have been indicted by the Copk county grand jury for alleged conspiracy to defame Clarence §.

GRAFT 10 POLICE $4000 YEAR set te Prosecution Sald To!Have Names Of Three Others Betis Licut. Becker Who Were Dis- tributing Centers. ~ New York.—Sworn statements tend- ing to show that the annual graft col- ected by high police officials in New York city from gambling-houses and other illegal resorts has amounted within the last year to $2,490,000, ace in thé hands of Disirict Attorney Whitmar. The statements were made tc the District Attorney Tuesday by Bald Jack Rose, self-accused grat col- lector for Police Lieutocant Charles Becker, head of the Strong. Arm /Squad, who began his second day of nearceration in the Tombs yrison as jan alleged instigator of the murder of |Herman Rosenthal, the gambler. | This annual yfeld of $2,400,000 pro- tection money was equally divided, ac- ‘cording to the story told by Rose, among four hig officials of the poiice department, one cf them being Beck- er; and, from other evidence the Dis- ‘trict Attorney has collected he has reason to suspect that each $600,000 }was, further distributed. In other Jwords, there were fous separate sys- tems or bureaus of graft collection, each headed by a high police official. ‘Mr. Whitman, it was learned, has the names of the other, three police officials whom Rose has named, and his further efforts in this now most sensational “police exposure” that New York has ever seen will be di- rected toward strengthening the evi- dence which points against them. One of the officials named, it was learned, holds a .poeition at head quarters and is in a direct sense a civilian employe. The name of a former prominent city official has been brought ,to the ‘attention of the district attorney as having been closely connected with ‘the “graft system,” but it was learned that the evidence thus far obtained ‘against him fs not of a tangible nature. ‘The evidence, however, is being ‘closely followed by the detectives in the employ of the district attorney. It also became known that if Lieutenant Becker will tell all he knows, not only in respect to his own zlleged complicity in the murder, but will unfold the inner workings of the graft system, insofar as it may in- volve the “men higher up,” no effort will be made to enforce the extreme penalty of the erime of which he now stands accused—the murder of Rosen- thal—but he will be granted leniency on that condition only. The alleged fact of the $2,400,000 graft fund was told to him by Becker, Rose sald in a sworn statement. Becker, he said, told him that he handled $600,000 a year and that equal amounts were handled by three other ofictals. This, he safd, came in col- lections from gambling houses, pool rooms, houses of ill repute and the like. | DEACONS ENJOIN SINGER. |May Not Raise His Voice In Tennessee oe Church, Chattanooga, Tenn.—J.

London.—Excessive speed is held responsible for the Titanic disaster in the report of the British commission of inguiry which was presented in Scottish Drill Hall Tuesday. J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star Line, is absolved from blame for jumping into a Mfeboat and saving his life while hundreds of other passen- gers went to their doom. There is no censure of the conduct of Captain Smith, of the lost liner, in the report. In driving his ship at high speed through the ice region he was merely foliowing the general custom of ship- masters, the report states. Adverse criticism is visited upon Captain Lord, of the Leyland liner California, which might have saved many {f not all of the lives that were lost, the commizsion says. Lord Mer- sey presided when the committee was called to order. “The loss of the Titanic was due to a collision with an iceberg brought about by the excessive speed at which the ship was navigated,” the report says, “but the ship was effectively officered and was supplied with the proper charts.” ARTHUR BRISBANE WEDS.

WARNING GIVEN “TO ALL POWERS Ledge Resolution Is Reported To the “Senate By the Foreign Relations “Committee and Probably Will Be Indorsed. “ Washington.—The United States Senate will be asked to-act on Sen- ator Lodge's resolution, unanimously rdopted by the Foreign Relations Committee, which would make clear to the world this nation’s position re- gerding encroachment of foreign pow- ere upon the Western Continents. The Lodge resolution submitted to the Senate affirms that the United States cannot see “without grave con- cern” any harbor or advantageous spot in the Western Hemisphere taken over by a foreign government or by a foreign corporation bearing close re- lation to the government if such oc- cupancy would threaten the commerce or the safety of the United States. It is the outgrowth of the activity of an American syndicate which sought to sell to a Japanese fishing corpora- tlon 4,000,000 acres of land about Magdalena Bay, in Southern Califor- nia. Leading members of the Foreign Relations Committee declared that this definition of the attitude of the United States is not a direct reaffirma- tion of the Monroe Doctrine, a point to be clearly emphasized in the Sen- ate, but is an announcement by the United States<that it will protect its “approaches” ‘and prevent the estab- lishment of foreign naval or military bases at threatening points in this hemisphere. ‘Thotigh the Foreign Relations Com- mittee, upon investigation of the Magdalena Bay project, found that the Japanese government had no connec- tion with it, they determined that the Senate should assert its belief that foreign corporations be not allowed to secure sites in the Western Hemi- sphere that might later be turned over to their.home government for naval or military bases. Members of the com- mitee point out that the Monroe doc- trine, as laid down by President Mon- roe in his message to Congress in 1823, was that this nation would not permit any foreign power to threaten the safety of or attempt invasion of an independent government in the Western Hemisphere. In the Magda- lena Bay case It {s claimed the United States is following the precedents set by England and other powers, in de claring that foreign nations must not secure military or naval feotholds where they can threaten the com- merce and safety of this country. This position will be taken In the debate In the Senate by-the members of the committee who joined In recommend- ing the passage of the Lodge.resolu- tions. The fact that American traffic through the Panama Canal must pass in front of Magdalena Bay and that the safety of American shipping and the movement of American battleships in time of war would be seriously threatened by any forelgn power established there, makes the place one that could not safely be allowed to pass Into control of a foreign com- pany, it is clatmed. ° ‘The resolution was strengthened be- fore submiksion to the Senate by én amendment by Senator Hitchcock. Not only does it declare against tho possession of these “advantageous points” by corporations wholly for- eign, but {t covers also American cor- porations, the control of whose. stock may have passed into foreign hands. | "BODY IS FOUND, ‘Victim Of Foul Play Or An Aecl- dent.

"3 who is safd to ; rossess a fortune of $6,000,000 or thereabout, Brit- oe feized ho might SSN te be called Lord rE Harlinger, for he ose . te Harlinger. It is just a mite in the midst of his estate. All around the town stretch miles o! land owned by- Lon Hill, Clear on down to Brownsville, 25 miles, his acres run, and nearly every day when he is at home one of his round dozen of high-speed automobiles also runs to Brownsville and back to Harlinger. Those who get fugitive, flitting glimp- ses of the Lon Hill car on these runs declare that it really files. Hill is sald to break the automobile road rec: ord for speed every time he travels between his home at Harlinger and his business headquarters at Browns- ville, The 11 automobiles not used for the daily run to the office are at the disposal of his family and friends for touring the Lon Hill estate, and for prospective purchasers of some of his acreage. All Texas knows Lon Hill, who knows all Texas. “I was born in Tex- as and raised in the United States,” he remarked to a writer. Lon Hill is a bright and shining pro. test against the commonly accepted dictum that an Indian cannot be a good business man. He is altogeth- er Indlan—mark that. A fullblood Choctaw, he combines with the blood of the aboriginal American the ener- By of the native born of usurpers who crossed the seas to conquer a new world and an anclent race. Furthermore, Lon Hill fs a living testimonial to the fact that an Indian need not be a ward of Uncle Sam un- less he ckooses. He has not shared in the land allotments of his tribe. All he has he has earned by his own en- ergy and sagacity. No “grass money” for Lon Hill! . “I used to rustle cattle in Indian ter- ratory,” said the multimillionaire Choc- taw, “when I was a young fellow, and I learned enough there to know. that I needed education. I got it by going through the University of Texas at Austin, and then through the law schoo] of the University of Virginia.” Lon Hill believes in education. Two of his sons have finished the course at the State University and others are matriculated, “It never occurred to me before to figure it up,” he said, “but I reckon I have sent about 100 boys and girls through college. Every one of them bas turned out well, too. They'll make thelr marks. I bave made'it a rule to require each of my boys who goes through the university to take along another boy and educate him simultaneously.

AFRU-AMERICAN CULLINGS Se a eS oy Oe , Let us consider wealth for a mo ments says one writer. Man ‘cuts down a tree and makes a house of it, Thus nature has been arrested— dammed up, so to speak—and man has created wealth. Thus we have the thing we term wealth—houses, palaces, hovels, cities, raflroads, steamships—all of the won- derful structures that man has built, which has been. created by him through his energy, by arresting na- ture. . But something else has happened meanwhile. It is about like this: In every 100 men, say, there will be one, who has something else besides energy. He has brains. He is natur- ally superior to the rest. At first his superiority may be only, the breadth ‘ofa hair. It ts just enough for him to differentiate himself from the nine- ty and nine. Afterwards this differ- ence may grow, as he has oppor- tunity to cultivate it; but at first It is slight. What has this man discovered? Merely that he is capable of playing a trick upon the rest. He says: “You are doing it this way; this 1s a pretty good way, of course, but I think I know a better. At present each one of you is working on his own hook, and sometimes you work against each other—without meaning to, of course. Now if you will Jet me direct your movements a little, I ‘can produce twice as much wealth as you are pro- ducing at present.” a So the man, who really makes a bargain with each one of the ninety and nine naturally gets his profit from each one. The rest don't real- ize this, Each one thinks he {s the only one concerned. In a short time the man with brains owns about nine- tenths of all the wealth that the en- ergy of the ninety and nine men has created. This gives him more leisure to think and to develop other plans. Ho then creates, from the resources of his own mind, three things, name- ly, religion, law and government. ‘With religion he solaces the ninety and nine poor devils who have ney- er learned to think, and if anyone argues with him about ft, he says: “Sh! would you deprive them of their greatest consolation? Apostate!” With law he arranges a process of selection so that the wealth which is constantly being created by the nine- ty and nine will all go to his own beirs and assigns. He fortifies him- self thus against his own indiscre- tions, so that his children, who may not, and probably ‘will not, have any brains at all, will be able to float along on the tire of wealth the nine- ty and nine are constanfly renewing for them. . With government he clinches the whole matter and makes respectable his process of robbing the ninety and nine, Thus we have that degenerate thing called society, a mass of retrograde brains, spouting culture, literature, art and honesty, all blindly supported by the ninety and nine, who in the first place’ didn’t want to think, be- cause it was too much trouble.—“Old Hickory.” » There !s no allment or disease more prevalent among our people than that technically known as “apha- sia.” This disease attacka those brain areas that control speech. The symptoms of this disease In a mild form are lack of energy in talking, lapse of memory at frequent intervals in conversation, and a most annoying tendency to verbal “scatteration” and The negroes of Washington and the District of Columbia of the old set- tlers, before the war, acquired much and valuable real estate when land val- ues were cheap, but which has appre- clated greatly with the years and the marvelous {mprovements that have made Washington one of the most beautiful capitals of the world. Much of this property was allowed by the first, purchasers or their immediate heirs to get away from them, but much of it was “kept in the family,” and is now held by the heirs. A very great volume has also been secured by “new- comers” since the war. The Washing- ton, Bee chronicles the passing of block 900 in S street to. the ownership of negroes. For a great many years Mr. Daniel Murray of the Congresslon- al Ubrary was the only negro propri- etor in the street. Mr. Benjamin Washington purchased the adjoining Property and the exodus of whites be- gan. The Bee says: “Among the newest ‘colonists’ in this ‘900’ block of 8 street, are Prof. and Mrs. L. B. Moore, Dr, and Mrs, W. L. Tignor, Dr. and Mrs. J. R. Francis, Jr., and Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, Mr. and Dr. Booker T. Washington traveled the red light districts of London, Parls and Berlin and was not molested, and thus we bad “The Man Farthest Down.” Then, why should !t be dan- gerous for him to travel in the same district in his own country? An en- couraging sign of the times is the fact that there are occasions when we cer- tainly get together. Last week the entire race press featured the Wash- ington-Ulrich case. Display headlines with well written stories of the affair did credit to the publishers. In many general loitering along instead of go- ing directly to the point. The victim of this ailment surcharges his ex- pressions with “er'-“er”-“er’s” until the hearer becomes nauseated; he tries to give you the name of some one, and the name eludes him; he re- fers to a place but can’t think of its name; In other words, he is conduct- ing you down to a point on the stream of conversation and instead of Boing directly to the object he turns aside and explores every Ittle rivulet ‘running into It. Wearled, you forget what he intended to say, or where he intended to go. The talk is at once diffusive and confusing, showing that the speaker is a victim of mental “seatteration” rather than a master of concentration, This common time- wasting fault is general among both the Hterate and the illiterate among our people. It becomes hideously dis- gusting among the educated (2), who, jn addition to the foregoing, inject a troop of ill-chosen pronouns which make confusion worse confounded. Some days ago a young colored man boarded a train to go to a certain place. He had failed to buy a ticket. After the traln had gotten under way, the conductor came In and shouted: “Tickets, tickets.” Our young man handed him a plece of money. The conductor asked, “Where do you want to go?” There was considerable hesitation, scratching of the head, floundering over the “Ah"-“ah’-er”- “er,” and finally the fellow had to turn to one of his companions and ask, “What's the name ‘er de place I want to go to?" This had con- sumed about four minutes of the con- ductor’s time, and the latter passed on a saddér and a madder mant Through the efforts of Dr. James H. Dillard, field agent of the combined Jeanes Rural school and John F. Sla- ter funds, a commission of: southern state university professors has been formed to study the race question from an économie, educational and so- clological viewpoint, “The chief aim of the organization,” says Dr. Dillard, “Is to study the negro in his relation to southern life. I know that stu- dent groups in many southern uni- versities have been studying this question. They have done this sys- tematically and with high promise. So I was led to conclude that we should look to our state universities for the prosecution of the work, and it appear- ed that the work could best be prose- cuted through coordination-and co- operation by all the institutions. The commission has been formed by the selection of a member from hk of the 11 state universities of the south. as follows: Alabama, Arkansas‘ Flor- ida, Georgla, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, Prof. C.

A man was set to work to pump as hard as he could all day, and at the end of ten hours it was found that he had done just as much work as a little less than two ounces of coal could do, says Answers. ‘Taking ull the energy put forth by a hard-working man during one whole ear, the same amount of force would be furnished by thirty-six pounds of Food coal, or say forty pounds of aver- age coal. We produce six tons a head ofypopn- lation, and this contains the energy of 2336 men working for a whole year. Of course even in our best engines the greater part of the working en- ergy of coal ts wasted. But even if enly one-tenth Is turned to account, one and a half hundrewweight of coal is equal toa mn Working for 300 days of the year. A horse can do as much work as ten sen, but one and a quarter: pounds ‘of coal has as much working force as 4 borse expends in one day. So that ® ton of coal, If we could use all its force, would do as much work as six horses working for a whole year. Sc aaa ac earn: For the supreme court of the United States there is no exact precedent, either in the ancient or the modern times In making the great Constitu- tion the “Fathers” availed themselves pf all past knowledge and experience. Wut it was probably from the French mmblicist Montesquieu that they got their idea of the Supreme Court. In his book, “The Spirit of the Laws,” Montesquieu, after making a masterly analysis of all forms of government, used these words- “There is no liberty At Mie judicial power be not separated from the legislative and the execu- tive" The framers of the Constitu- tion knew Montesquiew’s book well, ‘and there Is not any room for doubt about getting the {dea of the Supreme Court from that source. Perilous Ride. Two sallors going from London to Glasgow had a perilous ride one re cent night on buffers on the Scotch ex- press, They concealed themselves ut Euston, and xot on the buffers of a passenger carrizga The train left Euston at midnight, and is timed to travel at a mile a minute, Crewe, a dis: tance of 150 miles, being the first stop. ‘When the express pulled up the men reemed terribly frightened, and more dead than alive. They said that the Journey was plercingly cold. As they passed through three long tunnels the hot cinders emitted from the engine fire scorched them, while they were neurly suffocated by smoke, They pre- sented 2 woeful appearance wher tak- en into custody at Crewe charged with traveling without tickets. ‘The Raln. About three-quarters of the rain which refreshes the continents of the carth is due to the ‘condensation of the vapors rising from the soil and not to those coming from the oceans. Elaborate estimates, based on all avaflable data as presented in Ger- many, show that the annual rainfall for the entire globe is equivalent to a layer of water enveloping the earth to a depth of about three feet. The quantity of rain water and melted snow falling in a year is put at 12,000 cubic miles. More than two-thirds of ‘this fall upon the sea. South America Is, it is sald, the only one of the con- tinents on which the annual rainfall cn Iand exceeds that on the surface of the sea. Helen’e Ace. Marriage was certainly not always contracted at an earls age in ancient or classical dass. We cannot recall an instance of a Biblical woman being married young. The glory of the clas- sical age uround which 0 many fa- meus romances gather, Helen of Troy, the beautiful wonder of her time, was forty-seven when she married Mene- Janus, fifty when she eloped, or was ab- ducted by the youth Paris, and over eixty when she recaptured Menelaus by her beauty and Induced bim to take her back.

C. 420, snd had Its most flourishing time from 350 to 200 B.

The most costly bound book in the world 1s x copy of the original edi- tion of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khay- yam, the green-morocco covers of which are literally studded with a thousand gems set In- gold. Te be exact, there are 1,050 stones in gold settings, firmly fixed in the leather, the book having taken nearly two years to produce. The gems include rubles, amethysts, emeralds, garnets, turquolses, topazes, and olivines. The front cover, besides being richly gem- med with flashing Jewels, is decorated with three peacocks inlafd fn the na- tural colors. The eyes of the feathers are jeweled with ninety-seven topazes, all being specially cut to tho correct shape of the eye. The eyes of the birds are rubles and the crests of to- pazes. A border depleting a vine has 250 amethysts studded in groups to represent bunches of grapes. On the back cover of this marvelous book fs a faithful model of a Persian mando- Mne made of mahogany and Inlaid with silver, penrl, satin-wood, and phony. A snake with eyes of emeralds and a skull with teeth of ivory are other ornaments of this un{que book, which fs eased in a carved oak cas: ket. Whistling Blackbird, The English town of Walthams{gw, Essex, has a blackbird that fs an ex- pert whistler. Its whistle 1s loud and clear—a rare accomplishment for an English blackbird. Its name is “Joe.” When “Joe” was being photographed, the other day, the photographer gave him a couple of worms. Whereupon “Joe” whistled notes that Waltham. stow understands to mean, “Are you working?” The photographer took the hint, and while he was busy wit his camera “Joe” struck up “If you want to know the time ask a poljce- man.” Two dancing ditties were glv- en in admirable time and tune. and in response to 2 call for an encore “Joe” whistled “The Old Folks at Home""'in swinging style. The owner of the bird caught it two years ago when it was a young one, and It took him nearly two years to teach it to become an accomplished whistler The owner thinks the bird is the largest specimen in the country. It meas. ures eleven Inches from the tip cf the tall to tHe end of the teak. Se a‘ Roneevite at Bide. It used to be contended that ravens lived longer than any other species of birds, and {t was sald that their age frequently exceeded a century. Re cent studles of the subject indfcate that no anthentle instance of a raven surpassing seventy years of age is of record Rut parrots have been known to attain an age of one hunéred years. There fs a record of 2 golden eagle which died at Schoenbrun at the age of 118 years. Another golden eagle was kept in the tower of London for ninety years. A third diéd at Vienna 104 years old. Geese and swans are tenacious of Ife, and extraordinary accounts exist of the great age they have attained. Buffon and other an- thorities have credited them with elghty and one hundred years of life. —Harper's Weekly; ; Wonderful Rain Tree. ‘That Is a wonderful tree which flourishes on Fierro, one of the larger islands of the Canary group. Fierro island fs 80 dry that not even a small rivulet is to be found on ft, and for that absence of water a curfous com- pensation {s made by nature in provid- Ing a tree such as is not found else where. ¢ ‘The Jeaves of thie tree are long and narrow and they remain green the year through. The gentle mystery of this tree, as travelers assure us, {s a cloud that hovers over it constantly, and condensing into water, saturates the leaves, from which the molsture drops continually and keeps the cis- terns which are in excavations beneath them always well filled with water. ‘These rain trees are few on the island, which, st $s safd, accounts for its sparse population. . Starlings as Planters. Starlings were first noticed flocking up Cramond fsland, a short distance from*Edinburgh, in unusual numbers in the autumn of 1899 and they contin- ued to frequent the place for some years until, as {8 thelr habit, they de serted it for a fresher and cleaner spot. A recent visit to the island showed a remarkable after result of the star- lings’ visit. In the small plantation, which consisted of Scots fir trees of stunted growth, there 1s now a strong showing of bourtree bushes. The atar- Ungs feed greedily on the berries of the bourtree and from the seeds there is now grown up a crop of trees Intro- duced by the agency of the starlings — London Globe. Mueleal Chicke. A farmer near the town of Sunbury, Pa. has a brood of Rhode Island Red chicks that he claims are musical Several weeks ago a friend presented to him a setting of eggs from his pet hen. On his way home the farmer stopped at another friend’s house, and while he was being: entertained the ‘eggs, in a shoe box, were placed on the piano. The friend played several ce- lections during the evening. Going home, the farmer set the eggs under a Plymouth Rock biddy, and twelve chickens were hatched. Now that they have grown big enough to make a noise, each has a “peep” that makes ‘a complete note. When the entire twelve make a noise it sounds like running the musical sezle.—Exchenge Highest Type of Sartorial Ele- gance in Their Construction. SSE Boudolr Toitettes, Whether the Negll- gee or the Teagown, Are Things of Gracé and Beauty—Short or Long Matinees Worn, Ba in peepee ra ges alld hai cle tegainnetentieis > striving to outdo one another, turn out confections of such loveliness that few feminine economists can resist them. The woman of liberal dress allowance doesn't try to overcome their allure for herself. She simply buys here one and there several of the comfort- able garments. and only occasionally does she admit that she might have managed with a less number. In fact, the teagown in common with the sim- pler order of negtigees, is the one type of garment not greatly affected by the vagaries of faskion. From season to season tere are, to be sure, slight dif- ferences made in the sleeves and the trunmings, biit the neghgee that was the last cry 12 months ago, will Jook exceedingly smart after it has been cleated und generally repaired. Flowered chiffons are decidedly in the lead Uils summer as a teagown ma- terial. There is something really pic- turesque about the folds showing roses, daisies, violets, and the various fa- miliar rerennials in. natural shades upon a white or creamy ground. When these patterns are blurred by a yeil- ing of shadow or other allover lace the effect is delightfully filmy and Il lusive. The princess slip of flowered chiffon veiled by an over-robe of lace undeniably makes the most bewitch- ing of all the summer teagowns, but If these materials are a trifle too ex- pensive for the would-be owner of such model, she may produce prac- tically tne same’ effect by using fig- ured and plain muslin. If she must have something whick will endure indefinitely she is advised to test the wearing und laundering qualities of fig- ured China silk and white cotton net. Lines Held to the Figure. | While each and every one of the new teagowns Is so made that 1té wearer may temporarily eliminate her corset, none of the lines is actually voluminoug The straight anu slen- der silhouette belonging to the ordl- nary frock $s partially preserved in the neghgee by a system of gathers placed a few inches above the normal waist line. 1 t this fullness 1s 90 cleverly distributed that it fs diffcult to believe that some; of the breadths are not sharply gored. In many cases the emplre teagown model Js built in one piece and shaped to the figure by tacking the garment on to a ribbon and silk liming, which also performs the duties of the brassiere. Ruches and plaitings play a leading role on some of the filmiest of the tea gowns, Whether the materials select- ter are wholly or semi-transparent, the gurmen‘ must needs be weighted in or- der to make it fall In below the knees and drag against the carpet as the skirt portion should do if it ts to be really effective. Pinked and frayed ruchings of taffeta are ymt in several rows unless in their place are two-men wide | -plaited lengths of cilk or sat- in, Either type of garnishing ts at Present more fashionable than the in- set bands of lace and net, although these, too, are frequently used. But in that event the hemi of the robe must be veighted with leads and these are almost certain to wear through the thin fabric. Sashes Give Chic Appearance. Sashes add a chic appearance to the boudoir toilettes of many sorts, but they are chiefly seen on the flowered chiffons and muslins,or on the emplre gowns, which look‘a bit complicated but are as easily gotten into as Is the Cleopatra dress. The Egyptian robe 4s prettiest in a plain silk bordered about the neck and sleeves with a handbag of ribbon having an oriental pattern in gold or silver. The robe, which fa drawn over the head after the manner of a football player's sweater, fastens over the shoulders. ‘That ts to say, the seams running from the throat to the arm-tops are hooked of lace after the robe has been ad- justed. Fichus of self material aro frequent- ly ised to cover. the figure from throat to waist line. They greatly simplity the matter of trimming that nortion of the negligee and may be draped to become @ figure of elther slender or plump proportions. But they are al- ways prettiest If the chogen fab:ic Is chiffon, muslin or not, as the soft folds may be brought far over the sleeves and the edging of the one made to serve as a finish for the el- bows ét the other. A wide collar of lace or net or lawn Is the prettiest of all the garnishings for a hot weather negligee and nearly always such an ac- cessory may be pieced out by adding a ruflle of contrasting sheer material or a band of coarse net covered with tiny ruebings of ribbon. . Howered materials or of silk and rib- bons. ° Combing jackets are mere apoiories for shoulder coverings. Nearly all of them are cut after the Egyptian man- ner in two pieces, including the elbow sleeves, but, Instead of hooking or buttoning the shoulder openings, the neck is made wide enough to ad- mit the head and the garment is al- lower to shake itself into position. Att- er the hair has been dressed, bow- ever, no risks are taken, and the ribbons tied into a big bow on the shoulders are loosened, thus making an opening that permits the garment to drop to the floor as does a petticoat. Even more scanty 1s the fichu comb- ing jacket cut Itke an enormous shoul- der cape with deeply pointed back and fronts.

Several changes are noted in the shaping of the kimonos of flowored silk, muslin or challie and the new cuts are undenfably an tmprovement upon the former models. Most of all marked is the treatment of the back form, which fs now slightly gored from the neck to the hips. The straight cut front forms are gathered into a neck band which fs @ continuation of the one bordering the garment and the narrow straight sleeves are set into Jong shoulders and really cover the arma, Glove silk Ingerie has evidently come to remain {ndefinitely. And small wonder, for there,seems to be a “shee out’ to ib. Mireovens Ot the figure as nothing in ‘linen, batiste, crepe de chine or China silk can hope to do.

Subjugating Peter i By PHILIP KEAN dGopsntane 1912, by Associated Literary Ereoe RS Se ee Tees. Ieee ee re ee crepe kimono and pointed Turkish slippers embroidered in silver. “Why should any man be 2 woman hater?” she demanded again. ‘ “A girl jilted him,” sald Phyl, “when he was only twenty-one. We are all crazy about him, but {t doesn't do any good.” _“Why crazy?" "You'd be, too, Peggy, if you could see him. He’s tall and atbletle and he wears the, most correct clothes— mostly white ‘flannels or rough Nor- folk things that make him look picturesque. But you might as well try to get near a hermit. Ho never looks at a woman.” “Oh, doesn’t be?” Peggy uncurled herself and crossed the room. She stood in front of her dresser and gazed long and earnestly into the mirror. “Doesn't he?” sbe sald again. -"Now, Peggy.” Phylits said, regard- ing her thoughtfully, “you needn't think—" Peggy turned and looked at her. “I don’t think,” she sald, “I know.” “But other girls have failed to sub- fugate him," said Phyllis; “why should you expect to succeed.” “ “I'm not going to try,” said Peggy. ‘deliberately, “to make him fall In love with me—I'm not quite such a— shallow thing as thet. Phyllis. Dut I'm golng to make him notice me, and I'm:going to do it in a perfectly lady- like fashion.” _ Phyllis surveyed her wrathfully. “It would do you good to be brought pres from your stilts, Peggy,” she ‘stated. Peggy crossed the room swiftly and threw her arms around her friend's neck. “Don't you love me, Phyllis, darling?" she demanded. Phyllis kissed her. “Yes, I love you, and that's why—I hope—be'll tee you down from your stilts—Per: gy.” And the next morning Peggy watch- ed Peter Powell, millionaire and brch- jelor, saunter forth for a walk, leav- ing behind him on the hotel porch a Une of exquisitely gowned and grace- ful girls, among whom were Phyllls and herself. |, Peggy turned to Phyllis. “What are ‘the habits of—the creature?" she de- manded, Phyllf& considered. “He walks a great deal. Before breakfast he tramps toward the top of the moun- tain with his dogs. Then, about this time, he goes fishing; in the after- noon he rides, and at nights he tramps off again with bis dogs.” “Sociable being.” remarked Peggy. Two. days later, Peter, climbing the ‘mountain to see the sun rise came to an empty log hut. Lived in, long ago, by a mountajn family, it had been deserted for years. But now there was smoke coming from the open, and among the shadows he could) see an old colored woman mov- Ing heavily back and forth. ‘Wondering a little, he went on and up. As hereached the summit a rosy slow overspread the world, and in that transfiguring light his eyes made ‘out the form of a woman. She was picking wild blackberries and she had on a pink sunbonnet. She seemed young and slender, but her faded ging- ham gown hid the Ilnes of her figure. Peter, wondering a Ittle to find her ‘there so early, whistled to his dogs ‘and went on. When he bad passed ‘the girl raised her head and looked ‘at him, then she laughed gleefully and fled back down the mountain. | When Peter came once more to the log hut, the front door was open. ‘A table was set within the little porch. ‘It was a quaint old table of polished ‘mahogany. In the center was a silver ‘dowl full of wild roses. Another sil- ‘ver bowl held blackberries. * The old colored woman came out with cream and butter and nodded to Peter. \ “You mus’ tome up and git yo" treakfas’ here,” ehe sald; “‘we's goln’ to serve folks what wants somethin’ different from the hotel.” Peter stopped. “Do you mean,” he asked, eagerly, “that I can have break- fast now?” ‘The old woman nodded. “Deed you can,” she safd, “an’ I'll have wailles if yo want ‘um.” She vanished and Peter took his place at tho table, noting the fine. ness of the linen and the exquisite- ness of the silver. The dogs lay at bis feet, but ralsed thelr heads as a girl came out with Ight step. It was the girl he had scen on the mountain top. Her sunbonnet was Bigagentp yg Ni ara Ma Sec ceE “You should have opened a pig farther down,” he safd, “not aaa: the hotel guests get up here; it’s to much of a climb.” “Oh, I know,” she breathed. “I don’t expect many—but Aunt Dilsey thought that a few—would help.” “Is there just you—and Aunt Dil- sey?” he asked. yes.” The breakfast. was delicous. The waffles were as Ifght as a feather, the coffee perfect. The girl who waited on the table blushed as he asked the price of his breakfast. “Oh, I don’t know,” she sald, “you see, we are Just Deginning.” “Halt of that," she quavered, when he alfered her a follar, and when he had gone she flew out to Aunt Dilsey. “You take it” she sald. “Oh, I didn’t Uream ft would be so dreadful!” ‘The next morning Peter camo again. “Do you have many customers?” “Not yet—" Phyllis was mystified, “Where you, Peggy?" sen demanded in SA mailed to a distant postofiice. “Ever since you disappeared I have been jwild to know what you are doing. Aud what about Peter? Aren't you coming ‘back to subjugate him?” | But Peter showed no signs of sub- jugation. He was considerate and polite, but nothing more. Then camo one Sunday morning, with Aunt Dil- sey sick, and Peggy all in a flutter. “Ob, will you help me—please?" she begged, as Peter camo up to the porch; “we need a doctor—" The doctor found Aunt Dilsey eo iI that he stayed for hours, and down- stairs Peter helped a whitefaced girl to hold on to her self-control. “You see," she whispered, “she nursed me when I was a baby— She's my dear old mammy—and there's no one else.” - Presently Peter asked: “Do you mean that there fs no one else who loves you?” “Yes.” “There {s some one else,” said Peter steadily. “I love you.” Peggy sobbed wildly. “Oh, you mustn't—you don't know what I am— you don't know.” “I do know,” he safd, and bis grave face was Mumined. “I know that you are very dear and sweet.” “r'm'not," she stoad up and faced him. = “Hush,” sternly, “there fs nothing you can do which will make you—un- worthy—" . “I'm not poor,” Pegsy lips were white. “I am rich. 1 came to tho hotel down there—and everybody sata you were a woman hater, and—I made up my mind that I'@ show you that— one woman—could—" oo His face was white now. “Then you made all of this elaborate preparation —to subjugate me?” “Oh, not in the way you think. I didn't dream that you would love me —that you were 50 flne—so wonder- ful—" “Look at me,” he safd, masterfully, “and tell me the truth. You say that. you have found me—fine. Do you mean that you could love me?” “{ mean,” she safd, steadily, “that I do love you—that all my life my heart must ache, when I think how you despise me.” In that moment of despair she felt herself enfolded by two strong arms. “Would you cling to me in riches— or in poverty—in cickness or in health —is your love of that sort, Peggy?" ' She hid her face against bis arm. “My love is my life,” she whispered. CONVEX MIRROR DID THE JOB ‘Diabolleat Conception Pecullar to Summer Resorts Cured Little Bobby of Vanity. Bobby, a little New Yorker, had his first real boy clothes. He was no long- era girl. The gnominy of skirts had departed afar off. He nad emerged in- to the dignity of a sult—knickers and Norfolk jacket, with a belt—tho real thing, tending toward the estate of “pig man.” The elation which is usual on such occasions were dug- mented in Bobby's case by the fact that he had a large number of rela- tives, mostly feminine, who rejoiced with him and who were loud in thelr expressions of approval. “How well he looks!” “Doesn't he look hand- some?” “He'll soon be a real man!” “How becoming his new clothes aro!” and similar auntie rhapsodies soon had Bobby's masculine vanity work- ing overtime. | In the afternoon of the same day ‘Bobby was taken by the large and admiring family to Coney Island. This ‘was a moro than ordinarily good op- portunity to show off and Bobby mado ‘the most of it. Not one of the family ‘realized that thus far the young man had not seen his transformed self ina mirror. One of the first things they encountered at Coney was a large mirror of the convex variety, and one of the aunties deiightedly steered Bobby In front of it, while the family locked on with suppressed smiles. ' Bobby looked. A puzzled, disturbed expression spread over his face. He looked at the family and they were all as solemn as ghosts. “How do you like your new clothes?” ono of them asked. Bobby made no reply: He looked at himself, then at tho mirror again, then turned away, In cold ignity, bat ‘from that day to this vanity {s a quality which makes {ts appearance no more in Bobby's mentality.
